Sanskar Singhal - X EShreshtha Agarwal - IX BWith a spark in my heart,I left to fight for my Bharat.leaving my family behind,like the soldiers’ fate and trait.The job of the Sun is to wake up and rise,while for some it is only to raise their voice.But some use their minds as they are wise,against the bad guys.Till the last drop of my blood,till the last breath of my life,till my body drops dead,I will keep fighting,for my Mother, India.Some people have a habit to hit,but maybe they are mentally not fit.In the past there was no light,but for Edison the world would not be so bright.In this world everyone has to die,some go with values and some with a lie.Also remember - never cry,as every drop will eventually dry.O! My tricolour flag,you are my dearest.I have sworn,to keep you flying high.Listen! Enemy of my country,will not let your soldier,enter my territory,till I stand on my boundary.O! My loving family,do not shed a tear,even if I leave this world,I will always be there,in your dreams, my dear.JagjeetJain6

This piece is only for people who are18 and above. If you’re not one, pleasestop reading, for you might be takento task by the school prefects. If you arean adult, never mind, this has no relationYohen Thounaojam - X Bto being one. I know for people under18, this is irresistible and now that youwouldn’t stop reading, I shall move on.Life is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside anenigma. Is there any key to this riddle?Life is sometimes too boring and you sincerelyneed a ‘U’ turn.Life appears to me sometimes too funny, sometimestoo busy and sometimes too sober. I brood andbrood so much that ultimately I stop thinking. Thegreat thinkers and philosophers about whom weread in History are none but just the ones who didnot quit thinking.I am sharing my scattered thoughts. Many a times Imake resolutions but quit after a while for life is toodistracting.We are trapped by technology (but) for good (maybe )?Killing ourselves is against the law but being killedby hunger and poverty isn’t. We are judged for ourknowledge, wisdom and hard work by the exam wegive in just 3 hours. Newspapers and G.K books giveus immense information about everything in theworld. But nobody seems to realize that losers are asimportant as winners.There will be no winner if there are no losers, andlosers always learn more!Nobody is prepared to believe that there aresomepeople who are really not corrupt in the Governmentsector, and that there are lions which do not eat people when trained.While life seems very normal and safe, it also isgrievously unsafe for there are so many riots andcrimes in the name of religion.Geeta, Bible and Quran all preach peace andharmony. No religion promotes violence. Lifeotherwise is very interesting. There are millionsof new things to do and learn every day. At thesame time, life is sometimes too boring. I havenever been able to find out a way to neutralize, ifnot changeover, the boring times with the busy / interestingpart of life.Life, when taken too seriously, at times, appearsvery funny and meaningless. We study hard inschool, only to study harder in college and studyhard in college, only to work harder when we geta job. So, we tire ourselves only to get more tiredlater.Life is strange for we don’t know what happensto us and to our consciousness after death. We allwant to live in a society where there is no violence, selfishness and which is full of peace andmutual respect. Let us together work for such asociety and give a new meaning to life 7

GLOBALSOCIAL LEADERSHIPPROGRAMMEKabir Saund - X DOn the 8th of August I travelled to London to attend a two weeks’ long Leadership programmewhich was recommended by my school. It wasa great opportunity to share experiences with and be apart of a network of people who have similar goals ona global scale and to learn how local issues can havea global impact. Main objective was to promote intercultural dialogue and community led social development. It brought together people with different beliefsand perspectives to learn and share with each other.The very first day, on the Heathrow’s Arrivals Terminal, Iwas greeted by an alumnus of the Global Social Leaders(GSL) programme, who escorted me to the magnificentcampus of the Wellington College. Since I was one of thefirst participants to arrive, I could explore the campusalone and fathom the beauty and culture of the 156 yearold college. Participants from all over the world rangingfrom USA, Russia, China, Jordan, Kenya, Australia, Pakistan, Dubai, Canada, UK, and of course India had gathered.Every day we had a briefing in a large room called theGreat Hall, for the day’s schedule. Since there were60 of us, we were divided into 6 groups of 10 partic-8ipants and each group had a coach. I was in group 3and my group constituted of 1 Irish, 2 Kenyans, 1 Russian, 1 Canadian, 2 Chinese, and 2 Indians including me.One of the best memories I have of my group is whenwe would all plunge into discussions, and the various accents could be heard mingling with each other.It was truly magical. It was a peer to peer relationshipacross cultural, geographic and political boundaries.Week 1 was basically aimed to make us realise why theworld needs social change and what are the qualitiesof a good leader. I can assure everyone that it wasn’tas simple as it sounds. The world has many problems,and to realise each problem’s importance and to putit on a scale of destruction can be a Herculean task.Over the 1st week we were strongly bonded with eachother to such an extent that we were a family. The external contributing factor that resulted in this trust betweenus was an activity called the Trust Challenge. This activityaimed at developing courage to let people of the grouptake responsibility of each other. It was an exercise allowing teammates to catch you while you fall into their handsfrom a 10 feet high wall. I volunteered to fall and all I can

say is that it wasa moment worthexperiencing.Swiftly the weekmoved on and before we could realise the secondweek was upon us.Week 2 aimed atbringing out theleader in us and inspiring us to makea change. Over the week we had powerful leadership training with inspiring talks from variousinfluential persons ranging from a worker atthe Oxfam Charity, a globalbranding company, an alternative journalist, theowners of a company whichsupplies medicine to Africa, to the Headmaster of Wellington.One particular activity called the Deki Challenge needs special mention. Deki is a company which provides micro-loansto the people struck by poverty in Africa. We were given atask to prepare a presentation on any one loan applicant andgive reasons as to why he/she should get a loan. This wasone activity which really got us close to a person living thousands of miles away that too without knowing him personally.It was a unique opportunity to make a real tangible change.As the week went on we had more discussions and debatesalong with other outdoor activities like the Holy Pipe, Raftingand Football. The second last day was a day which will be forever embedded in my memory, as it was the day ofOne of the participants hadsaid that this program willbe successful if none of uswould want to go back. Tearswere flowing from our eyes atthe thought of parting fromeach other. It was successful.the Formal Dinner. I talked with our Course Director, Nicabout the Indian culture throughout the 2 hours of dinner.The last day arrived. We had exchange of ideas and experiences with likeminded peers of different cultures andbackgrounds, had created friendships and connectionsover two weeks of time - to keep them for a life time.One of the participants had said that this program will be successful if none of us would want togo back. Tears were flowing from our eyes at thethought of parting from each other. It was successful.Yes it was a very successful programme. We werebrimming with self-confidence. We had acquired additional language skills. We had discovered new skillsand talents within ourselves about which we never knew. It was a marvellous discovery of ‘who am I”.Kabir with friends from all over the world.9

The Scindia Schoolrevisited in aMeditation Retreatin the USA.Jitendra Muchhal, Ex – Jayaji 1986I am sure the subject line would be intriguing. What connection does The Scindia School have with a MeditationRetreat and that too in the US?Let me explain. I had the opportunity to attend a 10 DayVipassana Meditation retreat recently near Dallas, Texas.The meditation retreat is almost set up on the lines of amonastery / gurukul with basic needed modern facilities,and we were to focus / meditate for good 8-10 hoursa day. The Scindia School and its 30 year old memorieskept surfacing 1. The Morning Bell: To wake up all at 4 am (yes, 4 am)for the 10 days, there used to be one of the attendeeswho would go outside each of our dorms /rooms withthe handy bell and dong. I could not help but remember Vrindavan / Babu(Jayaji House Attendants in the 1980s) each morning,as they would do this chore at 5.45 near our beds atScindia.2. The Main Bell: The beginning of meditation sessionsand the meals were marked by the main bell - and itsdong - and you were expected to be in the seat formeditation and not enter the dining room for mealsbefore the bell. At times, we would be outside thedining room, just waiting for the bell’s dong, remindingso much of the Scindia School Mess.3. Astachal: And

The debate was won by The Scindia School but since the host school does not compete for the trophy, it was given to .
